Students pour more than a standard serving of alcohol into drinks, study shows

A recent study by researchers at Duke University Medical Center has shown that college students drink more alcohol than they may realize.
"We asked students to pour different types of drinks into cups of various sizes. We found that, in most cases, students are way too liberal in their definitions of single servings of alcohol," wrote Dr. Aaron M. White, assistant research professor in the department of psychiatry at Duke University Medical Center, in an e-mail.
“Regardless of which type of drink we asked students to pour, they almost always poured too much," he wrote.
The study found the students over-poured shots of alcohol into cups by 26 percent, into mixed drinks by 80 percent and beer by 25 percent
The data suggested that students drink more alcohol than indicated by their responses in alcohol surveys, bringing into question the validity of alcohol surveys.
The study also said that this might indicate that students are not well informed about the alcohol content of standard drinks.
"I ve done it Everyone does it There’s nothing wrong with it," said Jason Wever, a sophomore majoring in biology and international rela tions.
Wevet said he thinks that overpouring drinks occurs frequently on college campuses, but does not think that people would care if they realized they were over pouring their drinks.
The study found the amount of alcohol students poured was skewed I sw> Drink* page • I

North University Park was nominated for the National Register of Historic Places on Nov. 7 in a move that community activists say may prevent historic homes in the area from being destroyed because of commercial development
The district, which sits just north of USC, was developed between 1887 and 1929. The California State Historical Resources Commission nominated the five-block area primarily because of its architecture, said Cynthia Howse, a historian for the California Department of Parks and Recreation Office of Historic Preservation.
